The Classy Cyborgs – Creators of the Treasure Box Braille Learning System

We are a team of students (boys and girls ages 13-15) from Aurora, Ontario. Our journey began in September 2014 as a FIRST LEGO League (FLL) Robotics Team participating in the World Class Challenge. Our mission is to help visually impaired children learn Braille with technology.

Treasure Box Braille Learning System

With our team of mentors from CNIB, Perkins School for the Blind, Georgia Tech and Tactalis, we developed an innovation that will open up a world of possibilities for blind children who want to learn how to read and learn basic math.
We are now partnered with VentureLAB and the Lassonde School of Engineering at York University who are helping us develop our prototype, expand our network and learn business skills as young entrepreneurs.
